When i recieve these amps is it fine to remove the filter. Also if i turn the fan around will it affect it from back to front to front to back.

Are you going to be using it for HT or for gigs?

DJ Gigs one on subs other depending on gig size mostly subs.

I wouldn't even bother then. You won't even hear the fan when the music is playing.

Thats not an issue i meant to change the airflow and remove the filter thats their for no reasons.

I never understood those filters. They are there to prevent the dust from getting out of the amp or what?! Shouldn't be smarter to put the filter at the inlet to keep the dust outside the amp? It looks like the prototype had the fan backwards and once they noticed, it was too late: they decided to give it a fancy name and market it like that. Complete non-sense to me.

I removed the filters on all my Behringer amps.

Is it difficult to remove them, in a forum i seen it came off in pieces and is it bad if i reverse the fan so air flows from the front to back.

I had one of those filters in one of the grills on my PC. After I removed it I noticed the dust started to build up more. I personally wouldn't touch it.

But this filter makes no sense on blockibg the dust from not coming out?

It may be there to keep dust from coming in when the amp isn't on. Dust doesn't know it's an outlet.....it's just an opening like any other.

Behringer copied the design from QSC I believe. I'm guessing when they ordered up fans their supplier gave them ones that went the wrong way because nobody told them otherwise.

I'd be very careful about turning around a fan to suck instead of blow. There could easily be issues with it not sealing up properly.

Thanks. i guess i will leave them stock, hope for no overheating.

And QSC got the design from an expired Crown patent ...

Got a link or model?

Sorry, I remember seeing an offhand reference which I can't find anymore. But even so, remember I am not claiming that QSC did anything wrong: basing a design on an expired patent is exactly how things should work, and there is plenty of original engineering work in the RMX series amps that QSC should be justifiably proud.

Interestingly, it seems Behr is not the only one out there copying the RMX. The Tapco J-series and Mackie FRS are also clones, but with a bigger, better toroid in the power supply. Crown LPS is also reputed to be a copy.
